- MicroTCA – compact
architecture offers
design flexibility
ATCA and AMC offer a level
of open standards, high-level
integration and flexibility
that give telecom equipment
manufacturers a higher
level at which to start
adding value.

- The
move towards ATCA,
AMC and MicroTCA
AdvancedTCA, AdvancedMC,
and MicroTCA make it easier
for NEPs (network equipment
providers) and TEMs (telecom
equipment manufacturers)
to outsource their platform
design.

Developer's Guide to
Open Telecom Platforms
Throughout the world, the
requirements for new packet-based
triple play and other enhanced
services are driving the
need for improved infrastructure.
In order to satisfy that
need, suppliers of telecom
equipment are also looking
to more flexible telecom
platforms that enable them
to reduce cost while speeding
time to market. For many
eqipment providers, this
means a move away from
in-house proprietary systems
toward open platforms,
such as PICMG 2.16, ATCA,
AdvancedMC and MicroTCA.

- AMC
Offers System Design
Flexibility
Developed as an enhancement
to ATCA, the AMC standard
has gone beyond its original
function of lowering system
costs. Its combination
of performance and size
allow it to be used, with
the right framework, to
develop powerful yet compact
systems.

- ATCA,
AdvancedMC and MicroTCA—the
basics
The future looks bright
for telecom. Service providers
are building out broadband
packet networks in order
to offer enhanced wireless,
data, video and VoIP services.
Meanwhile, telecom OEMs
(TEMs) are working overtime
to provide the equipment
that service providers
need to deploy these networks
and services.

- AdvancedTCA,
AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA
power next-generation
telecom equipment
Telecom Equipment Manufacturers
(TEMs) are working overtime
to provide the equipment
that service providers
need to deploy networks
and services. As TEMs formulate
their design and platform
strategies, they must grapple
with the age-old question
of what to build in-house,
and what to outsource.
Historically, TEMs have
built virtually everything
in-house. More recently,
though, deregulation has
made the service and equipment
landscape increasingly
competitive, making it
difficult to deliver homegrown
equipment in a timely,
cost-effective fashion.
Utilizing open platforms
like AdvancedTCA, AdvancedMC,
and MicroTCA, OEM suppliers
now offer a wide range
of system level hardware
and software that makes
outsourcing both convenient
and cost-effective.

ATCA, AdvancedMC, and MicroTCA
address high-availability
telecom applications, from
core routers and WDMs,
to converged customer premises
equipment. Here's how to
quickly deploy flexible,
high-availability systems
that bridge the PSTN and
emerging packet networks.

- ATCA/AMC
Set to Provide Flexible Platform for a Variety
of High-Performance Applications
AdvancedMC or Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs)
are poised to become a significant platform for
a variety of high-performance, high-availability
applications. They are designed primarily to
provide flexibility for ATCA (Advanced Telecommunications
Computer Architecture) that has been designed
to provide high throughput, multi-protocol support,
high power capability, hot swapability and integrated
system management as a solid baseline telecom
fabric.

The Backbone for Telecom High Availability
Built with telecom requirements squarely in mind,
AdvancedTCA and Advanced Mezzanine Card form-factors
offer a new plateau of High Availability...

- AdvancedTCA
and Advanced Mezzanine Cards provide standard
foundation for next-generation telecom systems
AdvancedTCA carrier boards equipped with
Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) are poised
to become the dominant platform for high-availability
telecom applications. AdvancedTCA boards’ high
throughput, multi-protocol support, high power
capability, hot-swap ability, and integrated
system management form an ideal baseline telecom
fabric. AMCs enhance the flexibility of that
fabric by enabling designers to customize, scale,
upgrade, and service their AdvancedTCA-based
telecom systems with a finer degree of granularity.
AdvancedTCA and AMC come together in an optimal
telecom platform that addresses major bandwidth,
availability, field upgradeability, cost, scalability,
management, and interoperability issues...

- AdvancedTCA
and AdvancedMC provide robust, scalable telecom
platform
The year of 2003 was the year of PICMG 2.16.
2004 will usher in a new era, establishing AdvancedTCA
(PICMG 3.0) and Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC,
or PICMG AdvancedMC) as the dominant platform
for high-availability telecom applications...
